Table of Contents

Overview of Advisory Fuel Rates (AFR)

HMRC has published the latest advisory fuel rates (AFR) for company car users, effective from 1 June 2022, increasing rates between 1p and 3p, due to soaring fuel prices. 

The advisory fuel rates that apply from 1 June 2022 have been increased across the board from the March 2022 rates with a three pence increase on petrol vehicles over 2000cc for example, while the equivalent diesel vehicle rate goes up from 16p to 19p, while LPG rates go up by 1p across all vehicles.

The previous rates, effective March 2022, can be used for up to one month from the date the new rates apply.

When are Advisory Fuel rates (AFR) applied?

The rates only apply in the following circumstances:

  • reimburse employees for business travel in their company cars; or
  • require employees to repay the cost of fuel used for private travel.

These rates cannot be used in any other circumstances. If the rates are used, it is not necessary to apply for a dispensation to cover the payments made.

When employees are reimbursed for business travel in their company cars, HMRC will accept there is no taxable profit and no Class 1A national Insurance to pay.

Advisory Fuel rates (AFR) for electricity cars

The advisory electricity rate for fully electric cars is unchanged at 5p per mile. Electricity is not a fuel for car fuel benefit purposes.
